except life without acceptance is a life with limitations. Acceptance is freedom as long as you remember that people come in different models. Some people do hurtful things. Some people act or look differently. The people who do hurtful things require acceptance but do not need to be accepted into your life. Perhaps it is your hope to change someone into being a kinder, more loving and honest person. It's difficult enough to change yourself, let alone someone else. Can you imagine someone saying, Well, if John Doe were alive, he'd be perfect. Most people can change others about as easily as they can change. John does state of repose. It is impossible in dealing with hurtful people. Accept that you can't change them, but don't allow yourself to be victimized by them. Love yourself enough to accept that the person cannot be changed and move on. You never have to accept any type of abuse with people who look or act differently than you dio realize that different doesn't equal bad. It just equals different. You may be unwilling to accept others because of their one appearance to background. Three. Ethnicity, four age, five economic status or six weight stop, learn to accept those differences and to value people's uniqueness. No one really knows anyone else's life, path and challenges in choosing to accept people's differences. You open up your world, you stop being judge and jury. Remember also to accept your own differences. I used to work with a client who had lost his thumb in a job related accident. He couldn't accept the fact that he was no longer quote normal unquote. This caused him a great deal of anguish, not wanting to be rejected by his peers, he worked hard at covering up his hand, pretending that his thumb was still there whenever he went out in public. Peace for him would only be possible if he learned to accept his situation. Accept that life isn't perfect, but the best you can make it if it's not others or yourself that you have a difficult time accepting. How about a compliment? Maybe you have difficulty accepting an admiring remark. Someone says, Hey, that's a great outfit on you. Your response, this whole thing or let's say you've just painted a portrait and a friend says, That's amazing. You're really good, You might say, Oh, it's not that good noticed. The eyes aren't even. I'm just a beginner. Next time someone pays you a compliment, try saying thank you for noticing. Pay attention to how that makes you feel The inability to accept a compliment may very well be related to feeling unworthy or unlovable. Maybe you were fed false messages growing up. If that's the case, someone paying you a compliment won't feel like a truth when you hear it, even though it may very well be an apology. What do you do when someone does or says something that hurts you? If they apologize, accept the apology gracefully. Forgive them. Let the hurt go. Holding on will only hurt you don't make them beg for mercy or keep rubbing it in their face. If Johnny says he's truly sorry for being late and missing the movie except it don't start with I can't believe you were late again. Your unbelievable How do you even make it to work on a daily basis? Cheese. Just let go. It's not the end of the world. Everyone makes blunders now and then. Money. Do you allow yourself to accept financial help? You may feel you can't or that it shows weakness. My dad is one of those people. He's quick to help everyone else, but he has a difficult time accepting it when it comes to himself. My husband and I recently bought two recliners, one for him and one for my mom. His was sold. It actually had tape on one of the arm Rests told it together. When I told him the great news, his response was, Oh, no, you shouldn't have spent the money. You should have saved it for yourself. I smiled and walked away. You can't give without receiving, and vice versa. It goes both ways. Realize that everyone needs help from time to time. Don't let pride stand in the way except the help. Then help someone else. Well, meaning advice. How do you respond when someone gives you advice? Do you resist immediately? Shut down. It's a good idea to stay open. You might just learn something new. Not all advice is an attack on your person. If you take it that way, you might actually be dealing with leftover pain. Harsh criticism from your past. You don't have to agree with everything you hear, except what feels right. Discard the rest. It really is good to hear someone else's perspective. They may have a different take one to which you are oblivious. That could really open your eyes to something spectacular. You learn to accept who you are. Accept the things that can't be changed. Change the things you can choose to do so you are beautiful. You are unique. You are magnificent. There is no one else like you. Happiness can exist only in acceptance. George Orwell Free yourself.
